The crowing of a rooster means a lot of different things to a lot of different people! That incessant high pitched “cock-a-doodle-do” is a one of a kind sound that even the youngest child will attempt to imitate. To some, it is the signal of a new day and a fresh start. It carries with it the potential of new beginnings with a blank slate. For others, it rings with remorse and is a reminder of the night before or even the countless mornings when opportunities were carelessly squandered.

My daughter and her husband live in Montana. My wife and I recently visited there and made several hikes into the depth and beauty of Glacier National Park. One of them being the famous “Highline Trail.” The Highline Trail is an extremely popular hike, and for good reason. At every step, you can enjoy spectacular scenery as the Highline follows along the Continental Divide, also known as the Garden Wall. The beautiful views, the excellent opportunities for spotting wildlife, and the wildflowers, all combine to make this a hike we will never forget.
